Brain monitor may predict easier breathing tube placement in ER
NCT ID NCT07690254
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study observes whether the depth of anesthesia, measured by a brain activity monitor (BIS), affects how easily a breathing tube can be placed on the first try in emergency room patients. Adults undergoing rapid sequence intubation will wear a forehead sensor, but doctors will not see the readings. The goal is to see if patients who need multiple attempts have different anesthetic depth than those who succeed on the first try.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If a link is found, it could help doctors optimize sedation for safer intubation in emergencies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not change practice directly.
